What a Whirlpool Technician Deals With
Whirlpool's standalone ice makers circulate water over a freezing plate, release the ice sheet onto a cutter grid, drain the mineral-laden water each cycle, and store cubes in an unrefrigerated bin where some melting is normal.

Defrost water leaves through a defrost drain at the bottom back of the freezer, which can clog and let water puddle and leak past the bottom door seal. Source: Whirlpool - Why Is My Refrigerator Leaking Water?
What Whirlpool Says to Check First
- Ice clumping in the bin. Break up clumps with a plastic utensil, check that nothing blocks the freezer door gasket, clean the bin and confirm the freezer is set near 0°. Source: Whirlpool Product Help - Ice Clumping in Ice Bin - Refrigerator
